Subject: [PATCH] don't use ext4_error in ext4_check_descriptors

Hello,

Because ext4_check_descriptors is called at mount time you can't use ext4_error
as it calls ext4_commit_sb, which since the sb isn't all the way initialized
causes bad things to happen (ie a panic). This patch changes the ext4_error's
to printk's to keep this problem from happening. Thanks much,
